Slightly unlucky on Caldwell's point of view, but either he dealt with it or put it in. Bender was right in position behind him if he missed.

Celtic: "We're losing, what should we do? Ohhh. Bring on another defender!!! "

Second half stats show Celts have 63% of the possession so you've hardly dominated. Bloody own goal now, lady luck has deserted us.

And only 2 shots on goal.

For those not watching the game, Bender right in position:

Poessession means nothing if you don't make clear cut chances. Celtic are just not good enough.

These sky commentators make me miss and long for Andy Gray

Hello,

Could you explain the blatant partiality demonstrated by the commentary team during 
the above match. I am neither a follower of Celtic or Arsenal so have no vested 
interest, however, I have just observed a painful and drawn out demonstration of 
how not to commentate on a football match, at least until I pressed mute.

Have a word!

Yes, i am bored

Edit - a third would be marvellous.

Loving the Arsenal Fans

Now hes going on about traffic and how all motorists arent has unlucky as Celtic.

I think he is on crack

Celtic just don't have what it takes.

Celtic and Rangers in the Premier league?. Don't make me laugh.

Maybe now these Scots who bang on about Rangers and Celtic joining the Prem will shut up.
League 2 maybe, but no higher.

Pigeon_Killer · 18 Aug 2009 at 21:32

^ League 2? LOL

They're both easily good enough to compete with all but the very best teams in the Premiership.

Didn't Arsenal just slaughter Rangers with a 17 year old.

Dutchman · 18 Aug 2009 at 21:35

What do you reckon, I think between them they must've used the word 'luck' more than 100 times

Erm it's not as if Celtic have been beaten 6-1 like say Everton on the weekend. Obviously not premiership winners quality but I'm sure they would be more than a match for most of the teams in the premiership.

lmao you know those statements are absolutely daft, you put Rangers and Celtic in the Premiership with the same TV cash that your teams get and of course we would easily compete.

It's a bit hard when you think we are getting £65million between our 12 teams in the league over 5 years compared to the what £1.XX billion over so many years for the Premiership....

Not a chance.

They would never get promoted from the championship league.

They wouldn't need to because they wouldn't get relegated from the Premiership

SS-89 · 18 Aug 2009 at 21:37

Full time 3-1 to us, definitely deserved to beat sunderland. Started slow but dominated the majority of the game and it was a good performance.

K1LLSW1TCH · 18 Aug 2009 at 21:37

I'd put Rangers and Celtic on a par with possibly Sunderland and West Ham in the prem.

Oh well, in that case lets give Wigan the money that Chelsea get, then we can ignore rangers and Celtic.

Celtic AT HOME, played for a nil nil draw, how good is that.

Birmingham city played Man u looking for a draw at the weekend.........because they are scared of the drop.

Exactly what Rangers and Celtic would do.
